I don't like blood tests!
Because of cholesterol medications we are on, we have to get our blood checked several times a year.
Today was that day.
This is a pretty normal thing for most people, but for me, it is an experience in fear, anxiety, apprehension, worry, and hunger.
I can't look. I have to take off my glasses, turn away, and generally hum. I don't know why I hum, but I usually do.
And I always tell the tech drawing the blood that I am nuts. Years ago, and I mean years, I actually almost fainted and had to lay down.
I am much better.
The tech today was one of the best I have had! I didn't even feel the poke! It was over before I had a chance to hyperventilate and sweat profusely.
Jackie is just the opposite...no problem for her. She is quite comfortable with someone sticking a needle in her arm.
Me? I worry about whether the person sanitized their hands after the last bathroom break and if the gloves are still sterile or were used to clean out a toilet.
Some great author once wrote, "Much Ado About Nothing."
That's what my test was......nothing.
The only satisfaction I do get is a cinnamon roll and a vanilla capachinno afterwords. I know that is not spelled correctly, but it is really storming now and I want to get off the computer.
Peace out, dudes and dudettes!!
